Palaszczuk backflips on Suncorp re-naming bid

After a week of pressure, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has backed down on naming a Suncorp Stadium stand after her late mentor and Labor stalwart Terry Mackenroth.

The Government hasn’t decided whether the stand will be rededicated and if so, to who.

Mr Mackenroth, who died in April, masterminded the refurbishment of the old Lang Park into Suncorp Stadium as sports minister in the Beattie government, and later served as an independent director of the Australian Rugby League and Queensland Rugby League.
